D75 (04/02/2021): Glue Gelato has been in the closet for 24h. Banana Kush is ripening everyday. I might place her in the closet with light ON for one more week when Glue Gelato will be chop and in the tent drying. RH% and temperature are fine in the closet at the moment and it does not smell that strong with Glue Gelato inside. That give me an option to continue Banana Kush for more days in it.
- temp in the tent: 22C light ON ; 18-19C light OFF
- temp in the closet: 18-19C
- water: approx. 3L of tap water for Banana Kush
- RH in the tent: 42% light ON ; 45% light OFF
- RH in the closet: 42-44%
D76 (05/02/2021): Glue Gelato has been in the closet for 48h. I will chop her tonight! I will place Banana Kush in the closet with light ON. She needs at least one more week I guess
- temp in the tent: 22C light ON ; 18-19C light OFF
- temp in the closet: 18-19C
- water: approx. 2L of tap water for Banana Kush
- RH in the tent: 40% light ON ; 46% light OFF
- RH in the closet: 42-44%
D77 (06/02/2021): Banana Kush is in the closet and the environment is good at the moment.
- temp in the closet: 18-19C
- no water
- RH in the closet: 42-44%
D78 (07/02/2021): Banana Kush buds are getting fat. When I squeeze them I can tell that they are getting denser. She drink less water which is a sign she's getting closer to the end.
- temp in the closet: 18-20C
- no water
- RH in the closet: 40%
D79 (08/02/2021): I gave around 3L of tap water. Trichomes still look cloudy with no amber but I can see more of them and they look bigger.
- temp in the closet: 20-21C
- water: 3L of tap water
- RH in the closet: 35-40%
D80 (09/02/2021): She get frostier everyday! It's beautiful to see! She definitely have more trichomes than she had last week when she still was in the tent. The trichomes of Banana Kush are not yet at the same stage where Glue Gelato's trichomes was when I chopped Glue Gelato. I'm glad that I waited and that I did not chop both at the same time.
- temp in the closet: 20-21C
- no water
- RH in the closet: 35-40%
D81 (10/02/2021): I gave approximately 3L of tap water. She's a beauty but she's not ready. I said one more week last week... I say the same haha one more week! 😅😏
- temp in the closet: 20-21C
- water: tap water, 130 PPM, PH7.0
- RH in the closet: 35-40%

Girls got a little stressed out as you can see in the images, but they will flourish after a defoliation and a good feed...

Moin moin,
Die Blüte schreitet voran und viel Arbeit gab es nicht. Die Lemon Zkittle ist riecht top, ist aber winzig und die buds entwickeln sich auch nicht so gut wie erwartet. Die Apples and Bananas hat einen starken Geruch entwickelt den ich aber schwer zu beschrieben finde, als ersten wirkt der Geruch skunkig wird aber schnell von einer süßen leicht erdigen Aroma abgelöst.

DAY 28 : Hi all , hope your past week has been a positive one with lots of love and affection.
I am at the point now where flowering should be starting to show throughout the plants usually. Their are many tiny white pistil hairs showing their female genetics across the bracts of them all now so it looks like flowering has begun !!!!
The FC3000 has really given them plenty of light on their perfect spectrum to develop those nice fat fan leaves and now will no doubt take them through a great flowering period. It doesnt produce much heat at all and you can touch it for a while and still not feel too much heat. Ideal for stealthy gardens..
The Tip Spreading has been continued up to this point and it is clear to see how it works on keeping the heights down. By using additional l.s.t that wont slow growth down like the leaf tucking and threading the growing tips above the larger fan leaves that are still being used like solar factories producing copious amounts of food for the developing growth tips. The stems on the majority are nice and thick from the close stacking of the nodes and their is very little popcorn to remove from lower down. I will be keeping them all as open as I can now that we are going into the stretch periods pre flower. The potential is there now to create very chunky bud stacks but I think the Strawberry Pie have ideas of bursting out more . !
They are certainly all a lot more happy than the bonsai Mexican that has emerged in #1. Still very short and half the size ( or less!) than her sister in the next bed. She looks happy and healthy now but her initial shock at the soils make up had a negative impact very early on.
Overall it has been a good week for their tip spreading l.s.t and setting them up for flowering and I hope that our next update will be the bud porn early stages. Be well and prosperous growmies

Allright... starting today (20-12-2021) as day 1. 9 ladies in a whole new setup (see germination week). All looking great, curious about the performance of this setup and the lights in particular. Let's have some fun.
21-12-2021: First 12 hours of light was on the ladies @600Watt. Measured some PAR values to calculate current DLI. Average DLI: 61.7 mol/m2d, Peak DLI: 84.9 mol/m2d, PAR: Average: 1404, Peak: 1989 So it could be a little less😆 Will raise CO2 level next week when first nodes are there. I guess I start with 1000 ppm and raise it with 100 every week.
23-12-2021: Great... all still alive.. Put power down on the lights a bit because a DLI of 50 is a bit on the high side for seedlings I believe. Noticed a huge drop of PH so added some fresh water and will reevaluate tonight. My guess is that the buckets are finally full with water and so the older water is flushing through now. If I am right I should not see a PH drop tonight. If I am not right I will raise the irrigation frequency.
26-12-2021: The PH problem is solved... my PH- bottle seal was leaking😡. 7 days old now.... I believe they look fine. Raised the power of the lights again to see how temperature will hold. Total power now is 950W (just for a few hours to monitor the temperature).

I've increased the feed and light now.
I will repot soon .
I've pulled the browned leaves from the lower stem and the new growth is slowly turning green .
They'll burst into stretch mode once I repot them next week .
Hope everyone's grow is going well and the sun is shining on you 🌞

This plant is my first real plant because the first one had a genetic mutation coming from the seed because I gave it exactly the same conditions as this one and therefore I will consider this plant as my first plant.
I am very proud of myself to have obtained such a yield (188g wet) with very few problems during the culture of this Steacky Beast Automatic from Zamnesia. This plant resisted very well to a nitrogen deficiency due to a too high ph because of my ph metter which was out of order but also to a small burn to the nutrient. I started rinsing on day 54 (it lasted 2 weeks and a half).
I couldn't put you pictures of the trichomes but they were perfect for the harvest and the pistils were also matching so here is why I waited until day 73
The heads are hung in the culture box with brown soft ties (I removed everything except the extractor and the filter), the box is plunged in the dark so it's perfect for drying
Thank you for your interest in my growing diary!
See you soon,

Welcome growfessors to another episode of growfessor theatre! Week 2 begins in the 4x4 tent for these 4 ladies. The grow medium is still damp and heavy, so no feed yet this week. I will wait a few more days before feeding.
Ladies look happy and healthy under the Mars-Hydro TSW2000 light.
Thanks for stopping by growfessors, tune in next week for another episode 👽🌳💚

As promised — I fixed everything, dialed it in 🙂
Plants are doing great now, growing fast and looking healthy.
You often see people asking: “My runoff pH keeps dropping, what should I do?”
I used to recommend increasing potassium, even though at that point it was just a theoretical assumption — I hadn’t actually tested it yet.
Well… now I have. And it works.
Situation:
Input pH is stable around ~5.8, but runoff pH keeps dropping over time (in my case down to 5.2, even 4.7 on one plant).
At the same time, EC is either dropping or at least not increasing.
I tried light flushing — yes, it helps temporarily, but:
Only short-term — next day pH drops again
Adds unnecessary stress to the plant (basically suffocating the roots)
Solution:
Increase potassium.
First, I boosted it by about +50%, then added another +30% on top of that.
Example: I had ~2 ml per 10L → increased to 4 ml → after 2 days up to 5.5 ml of Canna Mono K.
It took about 3 days to stabilize — runoff pH went back up to ~5.7–6.0.
If you’re using base nutrients:
Just get some Canna Mono K — it’s made exactly for situations like this.
Yeah, I know I’m basically mixing my whole solution around it, even though Canna says you can’t build a complete feed with it alone — but in practice, it works for me.
Also, side note — now 10L lasts me about 2 days.
And that’s it for veg — switched to 12/12 on day 36.

Well we finally reached the end. The last week was more cruise control. Just trying to remove the big fan leaves that's blocking any flowers. The trichomes looking kinda ready but still acceptable. During the last few days I maintained a daytime Humidity of around 60 and nighttime of 55. Temperatures are between 73 degrees and 67 degrees.
Two days before chop they got 48 hrs of dark and 3 days of no water to add to the stress. After the 48hrs darkness all the ladies Came out extra frosty. Loving the change of hues on the blue gelato. The vanilla Kush is very oily and very very strong smell. Not a strong smell coming off the OrangeGelato though. The green gelato has a creamy smell.

Day 23. This girl should be big, stretching and side shooting lika a champ ! A bit sensitive to magnesium and nitrogen, but all is going better. Next week or maybe a bit earlier i will start training.
Girl is on pure dechlorinated phed water diet. 6.3 as always. Thinking to give 1000ml instead of current 600 to them. Girls drink every 3 days.
Great light no doubts! Mars TS1000 and daily rotation around axe, plus changing positions every 2 days - helps a lot with even development.
Day 26. Small training for her was done, again main stem was twisted for 20-30 sec between fingers and top bent sideways. That helps to strengthen main top and allows other side shoots to catch up for even canopy .
Still think wires will be involved with all, too little space, need to optimise it ....
Happy Growing !!!

23.09.23- 85 день жизни .
Глобальных изменений не происходит , шишки продолжают толстеть и оплакать глаз . Это самое большое растение из тех , которые мне доводилось растить !
На данном этапе ее рост около 180-185.
Сегодня я подвязал и распределил все толстые ветки под лампы , из-за своих размеров они прогибаются под своим весом .
Теперь она получает все 300 w
28.09.23- 90 дней от прорастания !
Изменения идут медленно , цветы растут а листья желтеют . Думаю еще 2 недели и финишь !
Сейчас она очень огромная , а ее цветы размером с бутылку ✨🍁

had some left over fish shit tea brew from the veg run, so I gave it to the flowering girls right now, due to the brewing there are only low levels of N and lots of microbes. Worry about the microbes and the plants will uptake what they need, this philosophy seems to be working very well.
